News from the Home Front
Hi everyone. After 3 ½ months away, I finally got home Tuesday afternoon, thanks to a smooth convoy from Menlo Park with Pat and Phil Williams. Thanks again, guys! You are the absolute best.
I ended up coming home alone without my caregiver, and it has been completely wonderful puttering around the house on my own with Sam, putting the place back together and resetting the energy. I’m clearing out old stuff, reorganizing drawers and closets, and planning new deck furniture. (By the way, the new dishes are gorgeous. 😊)
I am recovering so much faster than anyone expected. This week, my first week back and alone, I’ve been driving, grocery shopping and doing laundry without any trouble at all. There was no way I could have gone to Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods in a row back in January. Bone marrow transplants are hell in a hand basket but truly miraculous when they work.
Send some gratitude right now to your red blood cells. You gotta love not being anemic!
XXOO,
Joanne

You have always been so positive, with a ready smile for everyone in your orbit, that I knew if anyone could recover from such a double whammy, you would. Congratulations on coming home and regaining your energy. Don’t overdo it, but keep it up! Red-cell love and best wishes beaming your way! Happy Saturday! Happy May! Welcome back!
